Santa Rosa, CA · $550/week

An equestrian day camp offering riding instruction, horse care, and barn activities for various skill levels.

▌ Editor's read The Cloverleaf Ranch website loads successfully and provides detailed information about their equestrian day camps. The 'About Us' section states the ranch was established in 1957, indicating over 60 years of operation, though the current ownership structure isn't explicitly detailed beyond being a family-run business. The camp offers programs for ages 5-15, with activities including English and Western riding, vaulting, trail rides, and horsemanship. Beyond equestrian activities, they list swimming, archery, arts and crafts, and campfires. Social media links to Instagram (@cloverleafranch) and Facebook (CloverleafRanch) are present and active. There is no mention of ACA accreditation or specific state licensing on the website. The camp appears to be a for-profit entity based on its business model and offerings.

Who thrives here Ages 6–16

Cloverlea Ranch Equestrian Day Camp sits in the upper-elementary to middle-school window where specialization starts to mean something. Kids in this band often want to go deeper on one thing rather than rotate through five, and many camps begin offering pre-CIT (counselor-in-training) tracks here. The right equestrian fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
